With update to tvos18, the Ken burns effect in screen saver no longer provide setting for time-per-slide, so images sequence much to quickly for the intent of the effect. If slide show started from “computers” app, the setting are still there, but use-as-screensaver doesn’t retain the timing settings. Nor does it always take effect as screensaver.

Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:
They also killed the "Shrinking Tiles" option for screensaver use, it's available for a slideshow if you use the Computer app for linking your shared media, but if you try to set it to screensaver it gets overridden by the new one in Settings, which only includes the limited screensavers available on MacOS. Hey Apple, how about you add all the options you originally had for screensavers to all your platforms instead of taking features away? What a sloppy release!
The new time that each photo is displayed on my tv is 3 seconds, with no way to change it, making the screen saver basically unusable for me. Does anybody know of another tv box I can switch to that will allow me to show photos from my Mac mini as the screen saver, and decide how long the photos will each be displayed (just the way it has been before this update) thank you
